Description

Vast and diverse, Brooklyn appears in literature as a neighbourly place of traditional community values, distinct from the modernizing Manhattan. Brooklyn Fictions discovers what these literary representations of the New York borough can teach us about diversity and the individual, the local and the global. Combining analysis of popular texts such as Prospect Park West with more canonical novels like The Fortress of Solitude, this study draws on theories by Zygmunt Bauman and Anthony Cohen to explain how portraying Brooklyn as set of imagined ideals and nostalgic notions of community not only addresses concerns but meets the needs of isolated individuals in a global age. Brooklyn Fictions answers pressing questions about what it means to live in an urban region of a globalized world and whether ideals of neighbourliness and community can still be upheld. With cites depicted as sites of conflict and fear, this is a crucial contribution to our understating of the contemporary urban community and the ethical issues involved in conceptualizing and portraying it in literature.
